  “This was a new experience of cuisine and atmosphere for date night. My partner and I had Caleb as a server and he was absolutely fantastic. Super considerate, humorous, and down-to-earth. The food options here are also so diverse and refreshed our palettes. Would definitely recommend.”

  “What a lucky find Pretty Penny was! We were in visiting the area and needed a fun and interesting place for dinner. I scrolled through several booking apps and found them on Tock (I don't use Tock very often) Small, cool, neighborhood restaurant in a great vibing location downtown PHX. Food was curated, thoughtful, interesting and delicious and our server was dialed. We'd go back just to eat here and you should too! Thank you chef et all for a magical experience where the food was like a party in my mouth.”

  “Really cool vibe at this small but fun venue. The menu is concise but covers the bases well. Every dish was delicious and we shared everything between the four of us. The AF offering was delicious as well. $125 per person but food ultra quality enforced the prices.”

  “Pretty Penny is such a gem in downtown Phoenix. The food is absolutely beautiful, both visually and flavor-wise. Everything we tried was vibrant, well-balanced, and clearly made with care. They also run really exciting specials, which makes each visit feel fresh and fun. The menu is made up of internationally inspired small plates that are creative and not over-thought. Each dish is flavor-forward, beautifully composed, and well executed, with global influences that keep things exciting. You can really taste the care and quality behind every plate, it’s elevated, but still approachable and fun. The bartender is creative, friendly, and clearly knows their craft. The vibe is lively and stylish. Most of the seating is high-tops, which I personally didn’t mind at all, but it’s something to note if you prefer standard tables. Overall, a great spot for excellent food, drinks, and energy. I’ll definitely be back.”

  “This is one of my all time favorite places to go in phoenix. The menu is seasonal which I really appreciate because everything seems to be packed full of flavor. They offer caviar at cost and have rotating specials. It’s a smaller space, intimate and welcoming; perfect for date night or a girls dinner. On top of the incredible food, which I keep coming back for - the staff is stellar and the hospitality is a 10/10. The cocktail menu has some really innovative takes on classics that are sure to impress even the pickiest of drinkers. (*do yourself a favor and try the Pretty Penny Martini or the Citrus Vesper!) I just can’t say enough great things about this place, it truly is a gem in the heart of downtown phoenix.”

  “Fabulous experience here! The cocktails were fantastic -I loved the yuzu one. Caleb (sp?) helped us pick fantastic dishes from each section. The staff worked as a team, were extremely helpful, and answered all of our questions as first time visitors. We met the owner and found the atmosphere cozy and romantic.”

  “Yesterday was our first time at Pretty Penny, celebrating my birthday, and let me tell you—we will absolutely be back. If you love imaginative flavors, layered textures, and dishes that play beautifully together, this place will quickly become your go-to spot. We did a few of the smaller plates, just so we can try as many things as possible. The menu changes so I can't wait for next time to see what other surprises this place holds. Big kuddos to the chef and his team, because all I can say is wow. Caleb was our server and he was phenomenal—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely added to the experience. The cocktails were a delightful surprise, each with a unique twist that set them apart. The atmosphere is intimate and inviting, making it perfect for date night, with cool music that completes the vibe. Reservations are highly recommended since the space is fairly small. We can’t wait to return.”

  “Ate here for the first time this week and it was outstanding. Our waitress Sam was amazing and got us excited about everything on the menu. We wound up ordering 8 of the smaller dishes because to share and it was a trip to flavor town. I want to return to try out some of the carnes and will definitely be taking lots of local and visiting friends here in the future!”
